Hello, I need to handle very large file uploads and push the data into a socket. Having php to write everything to a temporary file, then reading it again inside the script and pushing it into the socket is very inefficient and imposes size limitations to the uploaded files (which may reach GB in size). It would be much more efficient if i could disable PHP's built-in handler of POST form data and handle the incoming data directly from the script by reading php://input . (I am aware that i will need to do multi-part MIME processing inside the script, if I read directly the raw POST data sent by the browser) Is there a way to completely disable the built-in POST form data handling of PHP and handle the data inside the script by reading php://input ?
